The 21-year-old Stoner told the world he had “dreamed about this since I was a kid watching the races on TV”, and former world MotoGP champ and fellow Australian Mick Doohan said it was like “a 21-year-old Aussie kid beating Tiger Woods at golf or Roger Federer at tennis”.
Hurricane Florence was churning up the Atlantic that week, and Slater wondered if I would hurry home, to New York, to meet the swell. No, I had things to do. Anyway, the winds were going to be south and east.
When we reached the end of the field I caught up with Russ. Russ is a big big feller. He had on camouflage pants, a fluorescent hunting jacket, rubber boots and a yellow cap. He looked like a whitewater raft. He was pointing out a Cadillac Limousine parked out in the field. One of the South Dakota hosts had brought a load of celebrity hunters down in it. We had been told that each team had a Fish & Game guide, a paramedic and a radio dispatched helicopter pilot standing by at our immediate service, so I didn’t think it unusual for a funeral director to be on call either.
That left the Wounded Seagull – nicknamed because of his tall physique, wing-like arms and upturned hands – standing fourth in the world ratings, 1000 points behind Australian Wayne Bartholomew, then Cheyne Horan and Hawaiian Dane Kealoha, with only two events, the Pipeline Masters and the World Cup, to peg back the lead. It seemed impossible.

He talked about his Grandma keepin’ house in the hill country of Texas. Simple, he said. No electricity, no phone, a hand pump outside for water.
Doohan is still the only player from the Hunter Valley to represent Australia in Davis Cup and was a member of the 1986 winning team.
And if we’re lucky we can sit down to this Thanksgiving meal surrounded by family and friends. We can look across the table brimming with turkey, dressing, ham, prime rib, gravy, sweet potatoes, creamed onions, punkin pie and cranberries. Bounty of our own making.
By the time NBN began there were around 60,500 TV sets in its viewing area to tune in to NSW’s first country station.

That seems a remote prospect, at least at the Lemoore facility. The cost of producing the wave (mainly the electricity, but also staff and maintenance) would make an individual day pass prohibitively expensive. The limited number of waves produced (fifteen an hour) would make it untenable for anything more than a small group. Even the lucky groups that get in the pool follow a strict protocol to avoid wasting waves. Surfers sit in the water, next to designated pilings, along a steel-mesh fence between the Vehicle’s path and the pool proper, and if someone falls another surfer quickly jumps on the empty wave.
He started toward the truck but stopped when he heard the sound of thundering hooves. He glanced back over his shoulder to see the heifer sprinting towards the Colorado border! He felt something move underfoot and looked down to discover his boot dead center in the discarded coils. A microsecond of his life flashed before his eyes just as the nest of yellow plastic snakes tightened around his ankle and jerked him off his feet!
